Chapter 41: The Oath of This Life
The old man stayed in Xie Mansion for two days, and after getting out of Xie Qian in Vanity Fair, his mood gradually calmed down, and they recalled some of the past, and after years of old dreams, they were embarrassed and full of emotion.
On this day, in the courtyard, looking at the peach and plum Fangfei in the courtyard, the old man Changrun said: "As the old saying goes, 'peach and plum do not speak, and the next is their own', but unfortunately they were born in the wrong place, if it is not a wealthy family, there must be a lot of close people." ”
Xie Qian was a little moved, he had been holding a question in his heart, when the old man was leaving, if he didn't say it, he was afraid that he would never have a chance to say it again in this life.
"You really don't want to see her, as far as I know, she thought that you were buried in the belly of a fish, broken your liver and intestines, and turned white overnight, and now you are also a lonely figure. ”
Xie Qian held a folding fan in his hand, looked at his old friend in front of him, and said calmly. And the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly: "It's better not to see each other than to see each other, and now the old man just wants to fulfill his last wish, which is enough." ”
"What was the result of your battle that caused a sensation in the world, and the martial arts people who were fortunate enough to witness that battle said that you won, but you said that you lost, what happened?" Xie Qian stood under the Li tree, the wind blew, and a few petals fell on him.
The old man closed his eyes slightly, as if reminiscing about the scene of the year, only to hear him say lightly: "We fought for three days and three nights, stopping fifteen times halfway, and it was difficult to distinguish between the superior, but in the last battle, he blinded his eyes, and I was forced into a desperate situation, although I cut off one of his arms, but suffered serious internal injuries. ”
Xie Qian looked at the lonely old man and asked a little anxiously: "Then you won, how can you be locked up in the prison of the Nanjing Military Department after that?" ”
The wind blows, the petals fall gently, and the garment flutters gently.
The old man just said calmly: "I was already in a big confusion at that time, I didn't distinguish between the enemy and me, and killed dozens of martial arts celebrities on the spot, and when I regained consciousness, I saw them looking at me like demons, and they shot together and knocked me into the sea." ”
Xie Qian nodded slightly, and muttered to himself: "No wonder those people only say that you have won, and they will never mention the details when they want to ask about them, it turns out that there are such hidden secrets." ”
The old man Changrun's expression was lonely, his tone was gloomy, and he said: "Fortunately, I was rescued by a fisherman, and then I voluntarily went to the prison, and I originally planned to come out in another four years, but because I met the son of the deceased, the plan was changed. ”
"What son of the old man, what plan?" Xie Qian asked in surprise.
"The young man I brought is the son of Mu Yihe, since you asked, I have a reluctant request here, and I hope you will agree. ”
Xie Qian said coolly: "It doesn't matter if you say it, as long as it is within my ability, I will do my best." ”
"These people I brought, you took them in the house, I went to the house this time and it was extremely dangerous, and I couldn't take care of them. ”
Listening to the old man's words, Xie Qian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this, I will definitely settle them and treat them as relatives." ”
Without waiting for the old man to say words of gratitude, Xie Qian became even more curious, and continued: "What plan do you say, what is the plan?"
The old man smiled slightly, and said: "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's that we said back then, let's fight again in twenty years, if I lose, I will send all the martial arts secrets, and if he loses, Fusang Ronin will never be able to set foot in the Central Plains again." ”
Xie Qian's expression became very frightened in an instant, he looked at the old man incredulously, and said: "This bet is too big, isn't it too hasty to decide the fate of the empire like this?
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Xie Qian continued: "Besides, after all these years, I still don't know if he is still alive, why do you rush to that dangerous place for an empty agreement?"
"The husband will do what he says, and he will make a promise, if he doesn't keep his word, how can he gain a foothold between heaven and earth?"
"But Changrun ......"
"Okay Yu Qiao, the old man knows your kindness, I have made up my mind, you don't have to persuade again, from now on, the old man still has more than three years, I hope it's still too late." ”
Listening to the old man's words, the old man Xie Dage, who had seen the officialdom's deception, only felt that it was in a fog, and asked, "Changrun, what are you going to do, the old man may be able to help you?"
Nodding slightly, the old man showed a stunned expression and said, "Don't hide it, the old man wants to take that baby away, go to that island for three years of retreat, and integrate all the internal strength of his body into his body, will he not be able to withstand the violent body and die?" ”
Xie Qian had seen countless strange things, but when he heard the old man's words, he was still dumbfounded. To pass on all his decades of internal strength to a baby? Such a mess is really unheard of, is Changrun really crazy?
Xie Qian said in surprise: "Although I don't understand martial arts, but the old man also knows the absurdity of what you do, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if this baby has the help of the gods and bears your internal strength, but if you lose your internal strength, how do you face that person, you do this, you have already lost before the battle, do you really want to give up the Central Plains martial arts to the Fusang slaves, if this is the case, then my Daming country is not in danger, and my society is not exposed to the sword of the Japanese slaves?!"
Looking at Xie Qian's face, which had become red because of excitement, the old man still said calmly: "The old man arranged it like this, and naturally believed that I was full of Chinese talents, if you and other barbarians dared to invade my territory, I should stand up for myself, although I am strong, I will fight, although I am far away, I will be punished!"
Xie Qian on the side couldn't help shaking his head, and said in a trembling tone: "This is not the way to govern the country, the governance of the world pays attention to the upper auxiliary saint, and the lower peace and dawn, you must not take such a risk, I don't agree, and I don't agree with death." ”
"The soldier is in danger, Yu Qiao, do you think the old man is willing to take such a risk?" The old man let out a long sigh and continued meaningfully: "The reason why the old man arranged it this way is only because he had a hunch that he was not that person's opponent, rather than being defeated and burying the future of the empire, it was better to hand over his fate to the juniors, and bet on my luck in the next few hundred years!"
Xie Qian was so frightened that he almost fainted, and muttered in his mouth: "What a big stroke, if this is really a case, wouldn't my eternal civilization be destroyed in one fell swoop, then it is an infamy that is difficult to wash away until the world is old, how many people in the world can afford it?"
The old man still said flatly: "The old man watched the stars at night and found that the lord of the number of buckets, Ziwei, was at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Seven Kills, the Broken Army, the Greedy Wolf, Tianfu, and the Heavenly Phases were also secretly shining. ”
After he finished speaking, Xie Qian looked at him a little blankly, he just smiled slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The country will prosper, there will be Zhenxiang, and the national glory of the Ming Dynasty is destined to be continued by him." ”
